attachmentAV – Antivirus for WordPress

The plugin protects your blog from malware like viruses, worms, and trojans.

  1. The user uploads an attachment.
  2. The plugin sends the uploaded file to the attachmentAV API.
  3. The attachmentAV API scans the file for malware by using the Sophos engine.
  4. In the case of an infected file, the plugin blocks the upload.

Also works with the popular file upload plugins WPForms, Formidable Forms, WordPress File Upload, Contact Form 7, and Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7.

An API key and subscription for the 3rd party service attachmentAV are required. To scan user uploads for malware, the plugin sends the files to the API endpoint https://eu.developer.attachmentav.com/v1/scan/sync/binary.
